Is that good? No! A well designed program shall never crash. I have several such app's (windows).

These strange crashes and behaviour, has been a sign of Chessbase for years. As an programmer I suspect it's the same codebase used as in old versions, and some bugs are never fixed. Or requires to much work to fix.

Instead new bells and whistles has been added for every new version. But I suppose people rather pay for such, then bug fixes.

But CB has no serious challenger, so we will probably get many unexpected crashes in future new versions too.

I've just installed CB15, and there has only been one crash so far! However, somewhat worse was that I changed all the options and customised the commands to suit my preferences yesterday, and today they have gone back to the defaults!! Hours of work lost! Has anyone else had this problem?

Just wanted to post my observations on Chessbase 15. I'm noticing the database is crashing when using the printing feature as it goes into endless loops when previewing documents before printing the games. The workaround is to open and print the games directly from Chessbase Fritz 16. Just my two cents.
